The New Year is bringing lots of great stuff to Netflix, but, sadly, that means a lot of fantastic stuff is going "out with the old." That includes all of "Lost," "Futurama," and several seasons of "Law & Order: SVU." We don't want to live on this planet anymore!

People reports that Cesar Sanchez-Guzman claims that while on board a yacht with the director in 2003 when he was 17, Singer "forced Cesar to the floor, shoved Cesar's face against his crotch area and demanded Cesar perform oral sex on him."

The lawsuit also alleges that Singer said he could help Guzman get into acting, "as long as [he] never said anything about the incident... He then told Cesar that no one would believe him if he ever reported the incident, and that he could hire people who are capable of ruining someone's reputation."

A representative for Singer released this statement to People refuting the charges: "Bryan categorically denies these allegations and will vehemently defend this lawsuit to the very end. Cesar Sanchez-Guzman apparently claims that he did not remember this alleged incident from 2003 until now. Significantly, when Sanchez-Guzman filed for bankruptcy only a few years ago, he failed to disclose this alleged claim when he was supposed to identify all of his assets, but conveniently, now that the bankruptcy court discharged all of his debts, he is able to recall the alleged events."

Singer has previously been sued by two men with similar claims of sexual assault when they were underage. In 2014, aspiring model and actor Michael Egan filed a civil suit against the director over an incident that reportedly took place in the '90s. He eventually dropped the lawsuit, saying he could not find a lawyer to represent him. The next year, he was sentenced to two years in prison after pleading guilty to securities and wire fraud, according to Variety.

Later in 2014, a second lawsuit from an unnamed accuser was ultimately dismissed on the grounds that there was no legal basis for the suit and that it was improperly brought.

Rumors have long swirled about Singer and many initially assumed that, like so many recently unmasked high-profile Hollywood predators, his firing from "Bohemian Rhapsody" was over pending sexual assault charges.

Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter at the Dubai International Film Festival, Stewart said, "People are always saying to me, 'Will you be Jean-Luc Picard again?'' And I cannot think that would be possible, but there are ways in which something like that might come about."

He added that working with Tarantino is "one of his dreams." Said Stewart, "I admire his work so much, and to be in a Tarantino film would give me so much satisfaction. So, if he is going to direct something to do with 'Star Trek' and there was the possibility of dear old Jean-Luc showing up again and doing that for Mr Tarantino, I would embrace it."

It's not about the R-rated language for Stewart (of course), but rather Tarantino's skill as a filmmaker. He imagines that a Tarantino-directed "Trek" would be "gripping... The one thing that characterizes all of his movies is that frame by frame, it always challenges, always demands your attention, always demands a very kind of open and generous response to what he does," he said. "I also love his sense of humor as a filmmaker. So yes, he would be my first choice."

Stewart's Shakespearean-trained eloquence with Tarantino's dialogue? Now that we've got to see.

Kate Hudson shared a photo of her with shorter hair on her Instagram yesterday and damned if her new 'do doesn't look just like Leonardo DiCaprio's from 20 years ago.

"Who wore it better?" she asked in her #TBT post, although it's really more of a throwback for Leo, whose spiky-haired picture is from the 1997 premiere of "Titanic."

Hudson revealed on a recent appearance on "Ellen" that she shaved her hair for a movie called "Sister" that she made with singer Sia. According to IMDb, it's "the story of a sober drug dealer and their disabled sister" and is due sometime in 2018. Sia wrote and directed the movie, which Hudson says is a musical. "It called for me to shave my head and I said, 'Absolutely.' Anything for Sia."

She joked that she's going to bring back the mullet next, for which we suggest a "who wore it better" with David Spade's "Joe Dirt."

The new Doctor Who, Jodie Whittaker, will be introduced in this year's Christmas special, but there's nary a glimpse of her in the new trailer.

Instead, we see the Twelfth Doctor (Peter Capaldi) meeting The First Doctor, played by "The Strain" star David Bradley. (Aka Argus Filch from the "Harry Potter" films.)

Of course, since the real First Doctor, William Hartnell, died in 1975 (and his initial replacement has also passed away), Bradley is the next best thing.

The magical final chapter of the Twelfth Doctor's (Peter Capaldi) journey sees the Time Lord team up with his former self, the first ever Doctor (David Bradley) and a returning Bill Potts (Pearl Mackie), for one last adventure.

Two Doctors stranded in an Arctic snowscape, refusing to face regeneration. Enchanted glass people, stealing their victims from frozen time. And a World War One captain destined to die on the battlefield, but taken from the trenches to play his part in the Doctor's story.

An uplifting new tale about the power of hope in humanity's darkest hours, 'Twice Upon A Time' marks the end of an era. But as the Doctor must face his past to decide his future, his journey is only just beginning.

An earlier trailer from Fathom Events also features returning character "The Captain," played by Mark Gatiss.

After the Christmas episode, BBC America will air "Doctor Who: Farewell to Peter Capaldi," celebrating the Scottish actor's run as the Time Lord.

According to Variety, the guy who held the job of running the comic book's film production unit, Jon Berg, will now be working with Roy Lee, who produced "The Lego Movie" and "It."

Comic book writer Geoff Johns is expected to continue serving as DC Entertainment's chief creative officer. Although Johns primarily works on DC TV shows and publishing, Variety speculates he could become more involved with upcoming DC films as well.

Warner Bros. expected "Justice League," which reportedly cost as much as $300 million to make, to net in the neighborhood of the first "Avengers" film" ($1.5 billion). Instead, it stalled out at $570.3 million worldwide, so far.

"Justice League" had a famously troubled production, with Joss Whedon stepping in after Zack Snyder's departure. Costly reshoots followed. And then there was the expensive and much-mocked business of CGI-erasing Henry Cavill's mustache.

According to Variety, studio execs understandably hated Steppenwolf, the movie's all-CGI villain, but were stuck with him.

The only bright spot, for now: Audiences liked The Flash (Ezra Miller) and Aquaman (Jason Momoa), so future solo projects with those characters might do better. And, of course, another "Wonder Woman."

Johnny Galecki is officially on board the "Roseanne" revival.

According to The Wrap, Roseanne Barr tweeted, "We have got our Johnny Galecki back on 'Roseanne' this episode -- what a joy to work with such a deeply empathetic actor. Very moving 4 all of us. #JOY."

Barr wrote in a subsequent tweet how special the reboot is to her: "This 10th season of 'Roseanne' is just a dream come true for an old lady comic who fought so hard 2 honor working class ppl in America."

Executive producer Whitney Cummings also tagged Galecki in an Instagram photo on the "Roseanne" set, indicating that the "Big Bang Theory" actor is definitely coming back to play David.

According to Hollywood Life, David and Darlene (Sara Gilbert)'s children have been cast for the revival: Emma Kenney (Deb on "Shameless"), will play their now 14-year-old daughter, Harris. Newcomer Ames McNamara will play their 8-year-old son, Mark, who was named after David's brother, played by Glenn Quinn. Sadly, Glenn, who also starred on "Angel," died in 2002 of an alleged drug overdose.

The "Roseanne" revival will air on ABC in 2018.

After coyly polling Twitter users whether they should make another season of "Stranger Things," Netflix announced today that yes, DUH, Season 3 is "officially happening."

(Should they be concerned that 44% of the more than 10,000 voters on the poll answered "No"?)

It's not a surprise that we're getting more adventures of bat-swinging babysitter Steve (Joe Keery) and supernaturally gifted Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) and all the other residents of Hawkins, Indiana, as creators The Duffer Brothers have previously announced they're planning on four seasons.

"We"re thinking it will be a four-season thing and then out," said Ross Duffer, who writes and directs the show with twin brother, Matt, recently told Vulture. "We just have to keep adjusting the story."

He jokingly added, "I don't know if we can justify something bad happening to them once a year. They're going to have to get the f**k out of this town... It's ridiculous!"

"Stranger Things 2" is currently streaming on Netflix. If you haven't already done so, we advise you to binge it immediately.

Congrats to Kaley Cuoco, who just got engaged to boyfriend Karl Cook. Cook, a professional equestrian, posted a video of her emotional reaction to his proposal.

In the Instagram video, "The Big Bang Theory" star cries and shows off her new ring, announcing, "We're engaged." And then Cook points out she hasn't officially said, "yes," yet! Maybe because of his engagement joke earlier that night?

Chris Pratt posted to Instragram last night warning fans not to fall for an imposter claiming to be him on Facebook. He included a screenshot of the fake account and said he'd like to punch the guy "right in the GD mouth."

"PERVY DUDE ALERT!!! (Not a joke)," he wrote. "It's confirmed: somebody is trying to pretend to be me on Facebook (and maybe other social media platforms) apparently hitting on a lot of different female fans, trying to get their numbers and who knows what else. I'm not joking. Please know, I find this behavior reprehensible. If I find out who it is I'll have their account shut down and seriously would like to punch them right in the GD mouth. You hear that imposter!? Stop. My message to any fans who are contacted by someone claiming to be Chris Pratt: Look for the BLUE 'VERIFIED' CHECKMARK next to the name. If there is no checkmark by my name that person is an imposter. I'm sorry."

[Via Collider] ]]>TV News2017-12-01T10:44:00-0500https://www.moviefone.com/2017/12/01/first-look-at-new-cw-superhero-black-lightning-has-fans-stoked/https://www.moviefone.com/2017/12/01/hellboy-reboot-now-has-a-release-date/
The "Hellboy" reboot, with David Harbour as the big red guy, has finally set an official release date: January 11, 2019.

That's actually the same date that Empire reported in September, but Lionsgate and Summit Entertainment denied it at the time. Original announcements pegged the movie as coming out sometime in 2018.

"Stranger Things" star Harbour is taking over the lead role from Ron Perlman and "The Descent"'sNeil Marshall is directing. Milla Jovovich and Daniel Dae Kim co-star in the reboot, titled "Hellboy: Rise Of The Blood Queen." Ian McShane ("American Gods") will play Hellboy's adoptive father, Professor Broom.

January isn't typically a great month to release a big comic-book movie. The first "Hellboy" movie opened on April 4, 2004 and its sequel "Hellboy II: The Golden Army" on July 11, 2008.

There's also Errol Morris's mini-series "Wormwood," about the mysterious death of a CIA agent in 1953.

Add in all the "Santa Clause" movies, "While You Were Sleeping," oodles of holiday specials and a new Dave Chappelle comedy special that debuts on New Year's Eve and your month is looking pretty darn full.

Which is a lot of fun in a "Back to the Future" kind of way. Except Marty McFly never had to fight his own clone. While nude!

The "Hunger Games" star told Josh Horowitz's Happy Sad Confused podcast, that in the episode (which is rated TV-MA), he was wearing a prosthetic, but the scene is still, um, revealing.

"There are barely limits — some prosthetics really push the limits," he joked. Here are some blurred stills via E! News, but the uncensored version is on Hulu.

Hutcherson explained he just "kind fell into" the often raunchy series, which is produced by Evan Goldberg and Seth Rogen.

"I was reading these hard-hitting, intense, indie, psychological dramas, and then this came along," he says. "This new era of TV is really amazing and fascinating, and you have a lot more freedom to go to crazy places. Just knowing the team behind it [was appealing], and for me, looking to do something original and interesting, I never really thought about wanting to do comedy or TV. It just kinda fell into me, or I fell into it."

Watch the trailer for the series below:

MoviePass just dropped its already low monthly fee of $10, which means a monthly subscription costs less than the average price for one movie ticket.

Although the site promises you'll pay $6.95 per month, according to The Wrap, by the time you add in fees, it works out to $7.50 a month. Which is still a fantastic deal. The current average price for a movie ticket, according to National Association of Theater Owners, is $8.93 nationwide.

The annual fee for MoviePass is $89.95. After your first year is up, the site says, "your plan will convert back into your $9.95 a month." Conditions apply, of course. MoviePass promises: "Offer valid until it's not." Also, "Limit two per household."

"This limited time offer is great for movie-lovers. At $6.95 per month, it's hard to compare it to anything else that provides as much entertainment for a full year," Mitch Lowe, CEO of MoviePass, said in a statement. "We are entering the prime movie going season, so now is the perfect time to take advantage of the MoviePass movement."

Existing MoviePass customers will save 25 percent from their current $9.95 per month plan if they subscribe to the new plan.

Exhibitors aren't happy about the low, low MoviePass pricing, but many seem to think the low prices -- and maybe even the company itself -- won't last, according to The Wrap.

In the unsettling first trailer for the horror film "A Quiet Place," a family lives in complete silence, because "if they can't hear you, they can't hunt you."

Real-life couple Emily Blunt and John Krasinski team up for their first film together, in which the play husband and wife leading a nearly silent existence at an isolated farmhouse in the woods. (Never a safe location in horror movies.)

The family communicates only via sign language, but when their son (Noah Jupe) knocks over a lantern, they're terrified to hear loud thumps on their roof. They seem to have an elaborate alarm system set up, because when Krasinski looks out the window, a red light goes on, signalling that something is indeed out there.

Krasinski directs the film, which was written by Scott Beck and Bryan Woods.

The movie opens April 6, 2018.

A second woman has accused "Transparent" star Jeffrey Tambor of sexual harassment and now the Emmy-winning actor might be written out of his own show.

Trace Lysette, who played a yoga teacher named Shea who mentored Tambor's trans character on the Amazon series, released a statement in which she details Tambor's alleged harassment.

According to Lysette, when she emerged from wardrobe in a skimpy lingerie outfit, Tambor remarked, "My God, Trace. I want to attack you sexually." Actress Alexandra Billings confirms she also heard the remark. Both "laughed it off because it was so absurd," Lysette says.

But a few minutes later, while waiting for a camera setup between takes, Lysette says Tambor (in costume as Maura) came up to her. "He came in close, put his bare feet on top of mine so I could not move, leaned his body against me, and began quick, discreet thrust[s] back and forth against my body. I felt his penis on my hip through his thin pajamas," Lysette says in the statement obtained by THR.

"I laughed it off and rolled my eyes," Lysette said in the statement. "I had a job to do and I had to do it with Jeffrey, the lead of our show." She said it wasn't the first time she had been "treated as a sexual object by men — this one just happened to be famous."

Lysette, who is transgender, said that despite "multiple uncomfortable experiences with Jeffrey," working on the show has been "an incredible, career-solidifying honor" and "a rare opportunity."

Tambor responded to Lysette's accusation in his own statement in which he said, "I am not a predator."

For the past four years, I've had the huge privilege — and huge responsibility — of playing Maura Pfefferman, a transgender woman, in a show that I know has had an enormous, positive impact on a community that has been too long dismissed and misunderstood. Now I find myself accused of behavior that any civilized person would condemn unreservedly. I know I haven't always been the easiest person to work with. I can be volatile and ill-tempered, and too often I express my opinions harshly and without tact. But I have never been a predator — ever. I am deeply sorry if any action of mine was ever misinterpreted by anyone as being sexually aggressive or if I ever offended or hurt anyone. But the fact is, for all my flaws, I am not a predator and the idea that someone might see me in that way is more distressing than I can express.

According to Deadline, Season 5 of the Emmy-winning series (which has not yet started filming) might now happen without Tambor.

Last week, Amazon began investigating Tambor's behavior after a former assistant accused him of harassing her. Tambor admitted he had "acted in an improper manner toward her," but also claimed that she was a "former disgruntled assistant."

"Transparent" creator Jill Soloway told EW, "Anything that would diminish the level of respect, safety, and inclusion so fundamental to our workplace is completely antithetical to our principles. We are cooperating with the investigation into this matter."

Although at least one had a specific condition before Gyllenhaal can don the bat cowl.

I accept Jake Gyllenhaal on ONE condition: They include the Rachel Dawes character (then played by Maggie Gyllenhaal) from the Nolan films, so we can make jokes about how Batman was way into his own sister. 😂

After Jack Black accused "Thor: Ragnarok" of "totally poaching his jam" for using Led Zeppelin's "Immigrant Song," Chris Hemsworth responded that he's more than ready for a battle of the jams. (Even though he has no idea what that means.)

Black posted an Instagram video a few days ago in which he said, "I'm calling you out, Thor. This is a challenge!"

In his own Instagram video, Hemsworth admitted that he is "guilty as charged" when it comes to using the same song Black did in his 2003 comedy "School of Rock." And he's more than willing to battle... if he just could figure out what Black means by "jam."

Don't hold your breath, but the long-awaited "Deadwood" movie might be filming as early as next year.

"Sources confirm" to TVLine that HBO wants to start filming the follow-up to the acclaimed TV series in Fall 2018. HBO refused to comment on the project, which hasn't yet been officially greenlit.

At the Television Critics Association summer press tour, HBO top programming executive, Casey Bloys said he was pleased with the script series creator David Milch has written. "The one thing that I was concerned about was I wanted a script that would stand on its own [for fans of 'Deadwood' fans and newcomers]," he said. "David totally delivered on that. I think it's a terrific script. If we can do it on a budget that makes sense for us, and if we can get the cast together, we're inclined to do it."

Of course, "inclined to do it" is a long way from "definitely going to do it," but the outlook seems good. And that's a mighty sprawling cast to reassemble. Two key players sound very game, however.

Paula Malcomson recently told TVLine that the movie is "a big Valentine" to her character Trixie and Al Swearengen (Ian McShane). And she's confident about the movie actually getting made." I really think it will happen [this time]. And I would never say that. I'm usually the most cynical about these things," she said.

Over the weekend, the story broke that Gal Gadot refused to sign on to play Wonder Woman again unless Warner Bros. made sure that disgraced producer Brett Ratner was taken off the project.

Today, however, Warner Bros. is denying that Gadot made that kind of an ultimatum. "It's false," an unnamed Warner Bros. spokesperson told Business Insider about the story that originated with Page Six.

Why not? Because she didn't have to. Ratner's deal with the studio will have expired by the time "Wonder Woman 2" starts filming, according to Business Insider.

After being accused of inappropriate behavior by numerous women including Olivia Munn and Natasha Henstridge, Ratner announced he would "step away" from his work at the studio. That includes scrapping a planned Hugh Hefner biopic in which Jared Leto would have played the late Playboy founder.

Despite (reportedly) not having had to make that "me or him" demand, Gadot has made her stance clear when it comes to working with sexual harassers: She declined to present Ratner with an award a month before the allegations were made public in the L.A. Times.

Page Six had quoted a Gadot pal as saying, "She's tough and stands by her principles. She also knows the best way to hit people like Brett Ratner is in the wallet. She also knows that Warner Bros. has to side with her on this issue as it develops. They can't have a movie rooted in women's empowerment being part-financed by a man ­accused of sexual misconduct against women."

Either way, it looks like Ratner is indeed out of the "Wonder Woman" business. Especially as more women, including "X-Men: The Last Stand" star Ellen Page, come forward about his harassment.

Quentin Tarantino's next movie is going to be about more than infamous cult leader Charles Manson, the director tells IndieWire.

"It's not Charles Manson, it's 1969," the "Inglourious Basterds" director said at an event honoring Sofia Coppola's film "The Beguiled."

That doesn't mean that Manson and the notorious murder of Sharon Tate won't be in the film: Margot Robbie is rumored to be in the running to play the doomed actress.

But it could also cover a lot of other things that happened in 1969. That includes the moon landing, Doors lead singer Jim Morrison being arrested for indecent exposure, the opening of X-rated Best Picture Winner "Midnight Cowboy," and the debut of "Scooby-Doo, Where Are You?" and "The Brady Bunch," for starters.

Tarantino is currently looking for a new distributor for his upcoming ninth film. Since his first film, 1992's Reservoir Dogs," Harvey Weinstein had backed all of Tarantino's movies. He just met with five studios (but not Disney), he told IndieWire. "It's a level playing field," he said of who might be his new distribution partner.

"Star Trek: Discovery" is taking a break over the holidays, but Season 1 will resume on January 7, 2018, CBS announced today.

Episode 10, "Despite Yourself," in which the crew is "forced to get creative in their next efforts to survive opposing and unprecedented forces and return home," will be available on CBS All Access beginning on Jan. 7, 2018 after 8:30 PM, ET.

The first eight episodes of the series are currently available to stream on CBS All Access and episode nine will be available beginning Sunday, Nov. 12 after 8:30 PM, ET.

Disney CEO Bob Iger says (per Polygon), "We've given a lot of thought to pricing. I can't get specific with you yet, because we haven't determined it yet. It will be substantially below Netflix because we'll have substantially less volume."

Netflix just raised its monthly streaming subscription rate to $10.99, so whatever is "substantially" less than that remains to be seen. Hulu's monthly fee is $7.99, so that could be the ballpark Disney is aiming for.

Disney will reportedly launch its streaming service in 2019 with 500 films from the Disney library and approximately 7,000 episodes of Disney TV. That is a lot less than Netflix, who offered 4,335 movies and 1,197 TV series in 2016, according to an AllFlicks report.

Of course, once the catalog on Disney's streaming service increases, so will its prices.

The yet-to-be-titled streaming service will be Disney-branded and not include any R-rated movies, according to Iger.

"Creed" star Michael B. Jordan will step behind the camera to direct "The Stars Beneath Our Feet," about a boy whose love of Legos helps him survive the Harlem projects.

It's based on the novel by David Barclay Moore novel, who will also write the script and serve as executive producer, Deadline reports. In a tweet, Moore announced, "Michael is a hardworking, passionate multi-talent. I know his film will rock. So excited."

"Directing has been an area I've wanted to explore for some time now," the actor told Deadline. "'The Stars Beneath Our Feet' tells a story that really spoke to me, and I'm looking forward to jumping behind the camera. I've had the opportunity to work with some very smart and talented directors and it inspired me to take on this new challenge."

A second season of HBO's Emmy-winning miniseries "Big Little Lies" hasn't been officially confirmed yet, but Reese Witherspoon is making sure she's available, just in case.

The actress just dropped out of "Pale Blue Dot," a movie she's been attached to star in and produce since 2015, according to Variety. Noah Hawley (creator of "Legion") was recently announced to direct the movie, which is about an astronaut who begins to unravel after returning from a space mission.

It was set to begin filming in Spring 2018, the same time slot when "Big Little Lies" would reportedly kick off filming its second season.

"Big Little Lies" won eight Emmys in September, including acting wins for Nicole Kidman, Laura Dern and Alexander Skarsgard. Witherspoon won an Emmy as one of the show's executive producers and was nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited Series or Movie. Costar Kidman (whose character had an emotional domestic abuse story line) won that category.

Although nothing is official yet for more intrigue in Monterey, author Liane Moriarty, whose novel the series is based on, said at this year's Emmys, "I'm thinking about it. It's a beautiful possibility."

All these years, if you wanted to have breakfast at Tiffany's in New York City, you had to bring your own danish, like Audrey Hepburn does in her iconic 1961 move "Breakfast at Tiffany's."

Now you really can have breakfast -- including avocado toast, truffled eggs, or smoked salmon bagel -- at the new Blue Box Café at Tiffany's flagship Fifth Avenue store. But it'll cost you: According to Vanity Fair, a coffee and croissant will cost $29, although it comes with your choice of the above-mentioned upscale sides.

You can also get a "Fifth Avenue Salad" (lobster and avocado) or their spin on the B.L.T, the "Charles Lewis Tiffany" with chicken, lettuce, and tomato. Lunch will set you back at least $39, but includes a starter and a main course.

The décor is blue, like Tiffany's famous jewelry boxes. "Both the café and redesign of the Home & Accessories floor reflect a modern luxury experience," Tiffany & Co. chief artistic office Reed Krakoff said in a statement earlier this week.

No word on whether they'll be playing the Oscar-winning song from the movie, "Moon River" nonstop. (Let's hope not.)

After the New York Times article in which 5 women allege sexual misconduct by comedian Louis C.K., the distributor behind his newest movie, "I Love You, Daddy," has -- to no one's surprise -- canceled the film's release.

The Orchard announced today that "It will not be moving forward with the release" of the movie, which was set to open next Friday, November 17.

It currently has a 58% critics rating on Rotten Tomatoes, although many of those reviews were from September, when it premiered at the Toronto Film Fest. Among the early reviews, IndieWire's Eric Kohn called it "absorbing and intelligent," but the New York Post's Sara Stewart described it as "a little nausea-inducing." Newer reviews were understandably harsher.

Buzzfeed's Alison Willmore wrote, "It's a film, however, that shouldn't come out at all, unless it's being used as a primer for how conversations about power and consent get mishandled, muddied, and ultimately used to excuse or obscure abusive behavior."

Today, Netflix announced it is canceling an upcoming comedy special with the comedian.

HBO announced yesterday that it has pulled all of Louis C.K.'s projects, including "Lucky Louie" from its streaming services and that the comedian will no longer appear in its "Night of Too Many Stars" autism benefit that airs live on Saturday night.

FX, which aired his Emmy-winning series "Louie," issued this statement yesterday: "We are obviously very troubled by the allegations about Louis C.K. published in The New York Times today. The network has received no allegations of misconduct by Louis C.K. related to any of our 5 shows produced together over the past 8 years. FX Networks and FXP take all necessary actions to protect our employees and thoroughly investigate any allegations of misconduct within our workplace. That said, the matter is currently under review."

The comedian is currently the executive producer of Zach Galifianakis's series "Baskets" and Pamela Adlon's "Better Things," both of which air on FX.

Kater Gordon, who won an Emmy in 2009 for co-writing an episode of "Mad Men," reveals that she quit the show -- and writing completely -- after allegedly being harassed by series creator Matthew Weiner.

Gordon tells The Information (the site is subscription-only) that the incident happened when she was working alone with Weiner late one night on the episode that would win them the Emmy. "He told me that I owed it to him to let him see me naked," she said. She says she tried to brush off the comment, but she never felt the same way about him or the show again.

She felt "threatened and devalued," but decided not to confront him, saying, "it felt like a lose-lose situation." She was sure she'd be fired if she spoke out. "I thought, 'I can't do anything to jeopardize.' I need this credit. I saw no value to speaking out," she said. "So I did what I thought women were supposed to do."

She did tell a number of people about the incident, who confirmed her story to The Information.

A statement issued by Weiner's representative said that he "does not remember saying this comment nor does it reflect a comment he would say to any colleague." The statement also said, "During the nine years he was showrunner on 'Mad Men,' Mr. Weiner had a predominantly female driven writers room. He has long believed in and implemented an egalitarian working environment including the highest levels of production and writing based on mutual respect for all."

"I did my best to play along but couldn't divorce him from the comment, and I lost respect," Gordon said. "I couldn't in good conscious support him the way I did the previous year."

A few weeks after winning the Emmy, Weiner called Gordon to let her know he wouldn't be renewing her contract for the upcoming fourth season. She decided to quit writing and moved to Palo Alto.

After reading the allegations against Harvey Weinstein, she decided to form the nonprofit called Modern Alliance to help victims of sexual harassment. "I spent a couple days feeling down and feeling upset and aimless. And then I got inspired."

Kwan tells EW that in an early meeting with one producer, he was asked to change the main character Rachel (who is played by "Fresh Off the Boat" star Constance Wu in the film) to a white woman. "They wanted to change the heroine into a white girl. I was like, 'Well, you've missed the point completely.' I said, 'No, thank you.'"

In the film, which comes out August 17, 2018, Rachel is a Chinese-American woman who experiences culture shock when she goes to ultra-rich Singapore.

Luckily, readers and the right producers agreed with Kwan. The author tells EW that during his book tour, white female fans in Texas were appalled at the suggestion of changing Rachel's ethnicity. "What makes these people think that all we want to do is see the same white actors or actresses on screen?," said one. Kwan says, "To hear that reaction really confirmed for me what the audience wanted."

The film is produced by Nina Jacobson ("The Hunger Games.") Says Kwan, "[Nina] felt it was really important to tell the story and to have this message and to have that representation out there. That was in 2013, way before the whole Hollywood whitewashing movement happened."

Now, Kwan says he thinks the time is right for Asian representation. "I do think the tide is turning, and my personal experience as far as I'm concerned has always been a very positive one, from the very beginning. I had one of the top producers in Hollywood come to me wanting to make this movie and wanting to do it right, so I think the culture is shifting. They're seeing the importance of this."

Aquaman is off the market! Jason Momoa and longtime girlfriend Lisa Bonet secretly tied the knot last month, according to Us Weekly and People.

An insider tells Us Weekly that the two exchanged vows in October in Topanga, California, saying, "Apparently they weren't officially married until then! They said they 'made it official.'"

According to People, reports that the two were married in 2007 are not true. The "Justice League" star and former "Cosby Show" regular first met through mutual friends in 2005 and went on to have kids Lola, 10, and Nakoa-Wolf, 8.

A source told Us Weekly that the couple purchased a marriage license on October 2, a week before the wedding.

Macy, who currently stars on Showtime's "Shameless," told TMZ of the 1997 Oscar-nominated film: "It's a great movie. It's a moral movie."

He costarred in the Paul Thomas Anderson movie as porn director Little Bill, who (spoiler!) memorably shoots his wife and then himself at a New Year's Eve party after finding her having sex with another man.

The good news: Jordan Peele, whose eerie horror film "Get Out" would have made Rod Serling proud, is bringing back iconic sci-fi series "The Twilight Zone."

The bad news: It will apparently be on CBS All Access, which means we'll have to pay to see it.

CBS CEO Leslie Moonves on Thursday announced yesterday that CBS All Access is readying a new version of the Emmy-winning anthology series, which initially ran on CBS from 1959-1964. According to THR, Jordan Peele will be producing under his Monkeypaw banner. Marco Ramirez (whose credits include Netflix Marvel dramas "The Defenders" and "Daredevil," as well as "Sons of Anarchy") will be writing the script for the pilot and will serve as showrunner.

A new version of "The Twilight Zone" ran from 1985 to 1989, beginning with an episode starring Bruce Willis and directed by Wes Craven. A even briefer UPN revival in 2002 was hosted by Forest Whitaker. CBS last tried to revive the series in 2012 with "X-Men" director Bryan Singer.

No date has been announced for when we can expect the turn of "The Twilight Zone."

Former child star Corey Feldman has spoken frequently about being molested when he was a child, but has been reluctant to name names.

The "Lost Boys" star went on "The Dr. Oz Show" Thursday and revealed that one of the men he alleges abused him was a man named Jon Grissom, who was his assistant in the '80s. During the show, Feldman, who's now 45, called the LAPD to report the crime. He had previously reported the alleged abuse to the Santa Barbara police, but, as mentioned during the show, did not name his abuser.

Grissom, who still has photos of himself with Feldman on his MySpace page, has two acting credits listed on IMDb, both films with Feldman: "License to Drive" and "Dream a Little Dream."Feldman told Oz that he wanted to name Grissom in his 2013 memoir "Coreyography," but his lawyers wouldn't let him. "We had to change the names legally," Feldman said. "The lawyers made me change the names. ... They gave me a list of three or four, you know, names. I picked the one that sounded closest to his name." He chose the name "Ron Crimson."

He appeared to confirm Grissom was "Ron Crimson" earlier this year when someone connected the dots on Twitter.

According to PerezHilton, Grissom is a convicted child molester. He was arrested for performing lewd acts on a child aged 14 or 15 years old in 2001 and saved jail time in 2003. Grissom now apparently lives in Mexico.

Feldman urged his abusers to come forward and turn themselves in and they would be "dealt with in a much more tolerant way," adding, "however if you do not, we're coming for you."

He previously identified former child talent manager and convicted sex offender Marty Weiss as someone who abused both him and fellow child star Corey Haim.

Feldman has been raising money via IndieGoGo for a documentary that will reveal more alleged abusers. He is seeking $10 million, which he told Matt Lauer, is necessary to make the film and cover legal expenses and security for him and his family. So far, the project has raised $192,000.

After "House of Cards" suspended filming in the wake of accusations of sexual harassment against star Kevin Spacey, eight staffers have come forward with their own stories of inappropriate behavior.

That's in addition to a man who told Vulture that, when he was 14, he had a consensual sexual relationship with the actor that nearly ended in his being raped by Spacey. ("Star Trek: Discovery" actor Anthony Rapp was the first to accuse Spacey, alleging that Spacey made a sexual advance on him when Rapp was 14.)

Due to this snowballing of accusations, Spacey's publicist Staci Wolfe and his longtime agency, CAA, have both dropped the Oscar-winning actor, Variety reports.

Employees on "House of Cards" allege that Spacey created a "toxic" work environment. A production assistant told CNN that, while he was driving Spacey to the set, the actor put his hands down the assistant's pants. "I was in a state of shock," he told CNN. "He was a man in a very powerful position on the show and I was someone very low on the totem pole and on the food chain there."

The harassment allegedly continued once they reached the set, when the assistant helped Spacey bring his belongings into his trailer. "I told him, 'I don't think I'm OK with this, I don't think I'm comfortable with this,'" the production assistant said. That's when Spacey became "visibly flustered" and left the set for the rest of the day, according to the production assistant.

"I have no doubt that this type of predatory behavior was routine for him and that my experience was one of many and that Kevin had few if any qualms about exploiting his status and position," the employee said. "It was a toxic environment for young men who had to interact with him at all in the crew, cast, background actors."

A former camera assistant told CNN "everybody saw" that Spacey was touching crew members inappropriately. "All the crew members commented on his behavior. What gets me is we have to sign sexual harassment paperwork before the start of the show and apparently [Kevin Spacey] doesn't have to do anything and he gets away scott-free with this behavior."

No one complained because they didn't want to lose their jobs says the ex-employee: "Who is going to believe crew members? You're going to get fired."

MRC, the company that produces "House of Cards," told CNN on Thursday that they have set up "an anonymous complaint hotline, crisis counselors, and sexual harassment legal advisors for the crew." They added they are "deeply troubled" by the allegations and that they were only aware of one incident that occurred in 2012 that was "resolved promptly to the satisfaction of all involved."
